While much of the rookie attention has been spent on Mac Jones this preseason, another Patriots rookie has shined in the team’s first two games.
Running back Rhamondre Stevenson leads the NFL in rushing yards this preseason with 194, averaging 7.8 yards per carry. Sure, his 91-yard touchdown run against the Washington Football Team inflates his stats a bit, but he has three other touchdowns over the two games, showing potential as a red zone threat.
The fourth-round pick’s immediate impact has surprised fans and analysts throughout the league. Stevenson’s play isn’t the thing that’s been the most surprising to him since he’s arrived in New England, though.
